The Reno Bighorns are a NBA Development League team based in Reno, Nevada that began play for the 2008-09 season. In August 2011, the Bighorns announced Bighorns Basketball, LLC, a local ownership group led by Herb Santos, Jr., Stephen Adams and Jeffrey Adams, had purchased the team.[1] The Bighorns play their home games at the Reno Events Center. Their namesake is the Desert Bighorn Sheep, the state animal of Nevada. Their NBA parent clubs are the Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies, and Sacramento Kings. In 2010-11 the Reno Bighorns became the Western Divisions Champions.[2]
The team was originally owned by David Kahn, operator of Southwest Basketball, LLC (the group that also owns the New Mexico Thunderbirds). In February 2009 SK Baseball, the group that owns the Triple-A MiLB Reno Aces, purchased the Bighorns.[3] Two years later the team was purchased by Bighorns Basketball, LLC making it a locally owned team.
In July 2008, the team announced their nickname, as the Bighorns. Two previous Reno basketball teams were named the Bighorns; one from the defunct Western Basketball Association (coached by Bill Musselman and league runners-up for their only season of 1978-79), and one from the Continental Basketball Association which played for the 1982-83 season. The team colors of green, tan, and blue are designed to be an allusion to nearby Lake Tahoe.[4]
On July 7, 2011 the team announced their 2011-12 NBA affiliates teams the Atlanta Hawks, Memphis Grizzlies, and Sacramento Kings. The Bighorns have been affiliated with the Sacramento Kings for four consecutive seasons. ( Bighorns To Be Affiliated With Kings, Hawks, Grizzlies)
In the 2010–11 season, the Bighorns were affiliated with the Sacramento Kings and the Golden State Warriors for one season; the Warriors subsequently purchased the Dakota Wizards.
In 2009 the team announced they would be affiliated with the Sacramento Kings and the New York Knicks.[5] On June 29, 2009, the NBA D-League announced that the secondary affiliate of the Bighorns would be the Orlando Magic replacing the Knicks.[6]
In September 2008, the Bighorns announced their head coach, former Phoenix Suns assistant coach Jay Humphries.[7]
For 2012-13, in addition to their existing affiliations with the Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies, the Bighorns will be affiliated with the Utah Jazz, as the Atlanta Hawks have switched affiliates to the Bakersfield Jam.[8]
